Ariana Grande "Baby I"

I love surprise artists. The ones that come out of nowhere and take over your iPod immediately. When Ariana Grande released her first single "The Way" I had no idea who she was. Turns out she is from Nickelodeon. What impressed me the most about her is that she can actually sing which makes her different from other Disney or Nick stars. She also doesn't try to be super innocent or sing bubble gum pop. Seems like she knows who she wants to be as an artist which helps to ensure that audiences won't have to deal with the genre changing whiplash that is Miley Cyrus.

Her new single is called "Baby I" and it's just as good as "The Way" if not better. She has a sample of some Britney in the "Oops I Did It Again" era, if you know that song you'll know the similarity when you hear it. Everyone compares her to Mariah Carey which you can't deny when  she's in falsetto. Being that Mariah is one of the greatest voices of the generation and the best selling female artist of all time, I'm sure Ariana is cool with the comparison.

I am looking forward to her debut album and I hope it follows the sound of these first two singles. Check the singles out below and some of her other YouTube videos:
